Abstract
Traumatic disruption of the transverse carpal ligament associated with fractures of the trapezial ridge and hook of hamate is a known entity. Only one report of a coronal fracture of the trapezium has been mentioned in the literature. We report a combination of these two injury patterns. Diagnosis was aided by computed tomography. Treatment involved excision of the trapezial ridge and hook of hamate fragments with lag screw fixation of the trapezial body fracture.
